Even though it's very comfortable to use to play games, the sound on the VPro VH530 headset when listening to music isn't neat.
Have a fund under $30 if you can get a gaming headset. Surely many people who are skeptical with such limited funds can get a quality device. But, Vpro through VH530 products wants to break the stigma.
When I first received the VH530, everything felt normal. When it first appeared on the editorial table, the packaging felt normal. Everything is ordinary, and nothing special. I'm also skeptical whether this headset can produce good sound, especially when playing games. After I read more, VPro offers 7.1 surround virtualization. Okay, in my opinion this is a big bonus. Usually the new features can be found on headsets worth $50 and up. The size of this headset is arguably quite large, but its weight is light on the head. The top cushion is quite soft, although relatively thin. While the overall framework of the VH530 is made of a thin metal plate that is flexible, but still in a solid level.
Turning to the ear cushions, the foam is soft, feels comfortable to wear. But, the use of synthetic leather makes me less interested in attaching it to my ears, because when used for a long time it will stick to the skin
I continued to inspect this headset by tracing the connector cable from VH530. At the far end, I see a USB connector rather than a 3.5mm audio jack. Hmm, interesting. At first I was not too concerned about it. But, after seeing gaming laptops of this age that have limited USB ports, this is a problem.
Okay, before I try this headset directly, there are a number of things that I do. First is to go to the Vpro official website to get software support because it is said that VH530 has RGB features.
Disappointment came when I realized there was no software support for this headset. So, I have to be satisfied seeing this headset change color automatically without any support for customization.
One other thing I usually do before starting to test the headset is to burn-in (warm up) for 48 hours non-stop. I did this by playing music on my laptop for two days. For those of you who don't know why this is important, there is a reason.
The term burn-in is used to adjust the diaphragm of the earphone, to fit the original design. Physically, this burn-in process will relax the diaphragm until it finally reaches the expected final state.
Usually, the burn-in process is between 100-200 hours. But, because this review article must be written as soon as possible, 48 hours should be enough.
My feeling when I first attached the VH530 was the same as my expectation, sticky around the ears. My disappointment is in my hard ear cushions.
But the advantage of using leather material is that it can seal the sound better than ordinary materials. During the experiment, on a volume of around 70 to 80 percent, I did not hear a leak.
I also did not set the sound to the maximum, because when I did, the sound produced was broken. It is uncomfortable for my ears.
Because this headset is a gaming headset, I immediately started some of my favorite games. First, I tried PUBG. I want to test the promise of 7.1 surround virtualization from VH530. How is the result?
Honestly, I'm quite impressed with the 7.1 surround virtualization that is in this headset. The voice of the enemy comes from the original source. I can distinguish the enemies that come, whether from the front left, back right, or others. Staging or sound layout is quite good.
Turning to the Assetto Corsa racing game, I get good immersion while using this headset. The sound of the exhaust and squeaking of the tires feels very real. How about multimedia?
I am very satisfied using VH530 to watch content, especially on Netflix. Even movies that have surround support feel very real when I use it.
Unfortunately, my experience listening to music is not as good as playing games or watching movies. The sound produced is very flat. Bass in this headset sound is less deep, even always covered with other instruments.
Oh yes, to control the sound of the VH530 pro is also quite easy. There is a volume adjustment wheel on the left rear side.
Then for the quality of the mic it is standard. Because there is no application to adjust the mic volume, I have to control it manually in Windows settings on my laptop.
Yeah, but at least they put a mute switch on the mic.
So, do I recommend VPro VH530? If you have a budget under $30 and are looking for a gaming headset that has a 7.1 surround virtualization feature, this headset can be a powerful choice, especially if you are looking for a headset with RGB lighting.
It's just that, there are some features that must be a victim because the price is cut. One of them is the absence of the application to adjust the RGB volume and lighting on the device.
